Was there a player review this week?

I can understand if there wasn't.

I don't know how Strauss went but it's disappointing he doesn't look like getting a go this year particularly as he seemed to be part of Roos plans during pre-season. In the sessions I saw he was a stand out but unfortunately it hasn't translated to senior footy. I wonder if he's delisted if we'll rookie him in the hope of "getting another Jetta".

I don't think it's a case of if he's delisted, but when.

I'd be very surprised if a sixth-year player who has not been good enough to play a game in the seniors all year gets another contract on the senior list.

Whether he gets re-rookied remains to be seen; I wouldn't have thought there's much point as we just haven't seen anywhere near enough from him over the years (including this one) to suggest there is a future there.

    Really disappointing.

    Skills have always been his strength, but clearly his other areas have not improved one iota.

    What happened to the kid who started to show some defensive tenacity immediately before breaking his leg?

    Such a waste...

    Going by the player review, I'd be very surprised if Terlich gets another game - but I can't wait for James Harmes to be elevated off the rookie list (it will happen)!

    about to be delisted for the 2nd time by the same coach at 2 different clubs

    I think it's more about having higher expectations of Terlich.

    Some of the others I think they have given up on.

    Especially someone like Strauss.

    No player's future is ever decided on one single game. Col Garland would have been delisted after his debut if it was, because it was a shocker. What if Terlich gets 45 touches and kicks 5 goals in the VFL next week?

    I think the more apt question is "what if Terlich shuts down his opponent next week?"

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
